So here's the barrel after cutting it down for my T/C Hawken .54cal carbine. My friend cut it, did the inside and outside crowns, and cut the dovetail. It ended up 22". It came out really good! Now to blue it and obtain the stock & lock.
For the leftover pieces, we both immediately thought...T/C Hawken Derringer!


But now for the haters....



I have from multiple sources of 22-24" barrels the accuracy being little to no difference in performance. Besides, the purpose of this build is for in the timber where short distances are all you have to shoot and moving side to side and not hitting trees is an important consideration. What??? None of you make running shots? So if you like it then like but if you don't, then move on. This is what I want and it is turning out great.
